Target is selling a sweater that makes light of OCD, which isn’t so amusing to a few of the people who actually have the disorder.

Target is being criticized for selling a Christmas sweater that pokes fun at obsessive-compulsive disorder.
With many still aghast over those Jesus Christ-hating red cups currently on sale at Starbucks, critics are also now turning their attention to Target as a result of a certain Christmas sweater currently occupying store shelves.
Target says that while it regrets that a few customers are offended by the sweater, there are no plans to remove the item from stores.
Social media users have complained that the sweater mocks individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder, a disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts and rituals, according to the National Institutes of Health.
“Making light of mental illness continues to enforce the stigma against those who suffer”.
“We never want to disappoint our guests and we apologize for any discomfort”, said Target in a prepared statement.
The sweater is on sale at Target.com for .49 – .99.
